As they drove along the busy road, Lin Wanmeng pursed her lips and recalled Zhou Zeyan’s words. She was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she went to another appointment.

Bai Yamo had been waiting here for a long time.

Her straight waist made her curves look cold and firm. Her skin was as fair as snow, and her neck was long and slender. Just a glance could make people fall for her.

It could only be said that Ye Lingxiao had good taste.

Lin Wanmeng took a sip of tea. “What are you trying to say?”

“Mrs. Ye, I know you have your own career, but you’re too careless with Ye Lingxiao.”

Lin Wanmeng blinked her eyes in confusion. She felt stifled, but she did not expect the other party’s attitude to be like this.

Bai Yamo also expected better from him. “I don’t have any conflict with you. It’s just that when I came back and saw Lingxiao, I wasn’t in a good mood. It’s not too appropriate for you to not be by his side.”

“Lingxiao needs a caring person by his side. Mrs. Ye, I believe you can do it.”

Lin Wanmeng was sure that she had not heard wrongly.

Could it be that women nowadays were so ‘virtuous’ that they had the mindset of ancient times?

Their mindsets have improved, but only a little.

“Miss Bai’s words are really interesting. I might as well be more direct. I’ll pay back the money I owe as soon as possible. There’s no need to be suspicious. I have nothing to do with him, and there’s no so-called relationship.”

Bai Yamo widened her eyes and stood up with a bang. “In that case, I have nothing to say. I hope you can respect yourself, Miss Lin.”

Lin Wanmeng opened the door. A gust of wind accompanied by the faint smell of smoke blew over.

She was stunned when she saw sparks in the darkness.

The man with the cigarette in his mouth leaned against the living room wall. The expression in his dark eyes was indistinguishable. His slender fingers pressed against the cigarette as the smoke slowly rose.

Standing at the door, Lin Wanmeng suddenly didn’t know how to face Ye Lingxiao.

Unfathomable emotions surged in her heart, but in the end, they were categorized as ridiculous.

“Did you see Bai Yamo today?” It was indeed because of this.

Lin Wanmeng recalled what she had said, but she did not find anything offensive.

She nodded and forced another smile. “I didn’t say much. Don’t worry.”

Ye Lingxiao’s expression was complicated. On one hand, he hoped that Lin Wanmeng would be jealous, but on the other hand, he didn’t want the two of them to get along too badly.

“When I first established the Ye Corporation, the lack of funds was one thing, but more than that, I was attacked by my previous peers. The Bai family was also one of them. It was Bai Yamo who helped the Ye family tide over the difficulties.”

“Grandma doesn’t like the Bai family because of this.”

So that was how it was. Lin Wanmeng came to a sudden realization. Childhood sweethearts tried their best to help each other, but unfortunately, they had no choice but to break up because of their families.

They couldn’t meet each other, and in the end, one person left. The person who was left behind could only keep the other person in his heart.

“I understand, President Ye. I’ve said before that if you need anything, I’ll cooperate with you.”

Lin Wanmeng paused. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Stop right there!”

As if he could no longer stand Lin Wanmeng’s coldness, Ye Lingxiao frowned and strode forward.

That tall figure was very intimidating in front of her. Lin Wanmeng looked up at him.

That pair of deep eyes hid some pain, which stunned her. However, what he said next puzzled her.

“Lin Wanmeng, can you tell me what I did to make you hate me so much?”

Ye Lingxiao naturally couldn’t figure it out. He continued, “If it’s because of the previous offense, I apologize to you. But we’re husband and wife now. Why can’t we get along well?”

Lin Wanmeng blinked, confirming that what she heard from Ye Lingxiao was complete and correct.

This was too ridiculous.

Lin Wanmeng pointed at her own face and said in disbelief, “You mean you want me to live a good life with you?”

She licked her dry lips. “Are you sure?”

Hearing this, Ye Lingxiao couldn’t help but smile. In his opinion, Lin Wanmeng’s worries were unnecessary. “It’s okay. I’ll arrange it. Don’t worry. Actually… it won’t affect anything.”

Lin Wanmeng covered her forehead as if she was laughing out of anger. Ye Lingxiao wanted to approach her, but she rejected him. “Don’t come over.”

The woman’s eyes were filled with mockery and sorrow. Naturally, her tone was not very good. “I’m a little disgusted by you.”

Lin Wanmeng returned to her room and locked the door firmly. She leaned against the door and suddenly laughed. However, along with her laughter, tears gradually fell.

On the other hand, Ye Lingxiao’s hand that had yet to be retracted froze as he stood up alone.

The rain outside the window lasted all night.

Lin Wanmeng woke up and rubbed her eyes. She went downstairs and turned on the television.

The meteorological host with a sweet voice regretfully told everyone that it would be rainy recently.

Lin Wanmeng looked out of the window. Although it was no longer raining, the sky was still gray.

Ever since she had a premonition that she was going to divorce Ye Lingxiao, Lin Wanmeng had been working hard to return the money.

Lin Bo’s company could not hold on much longer. They were already in a situation where they were about to sell their assets. Lin Wanmeng naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

On the day they met, Lin Bo no longer concealed his malice towards Lin Wanmeng. He glared at Lin Wanmeng as if she was his enemy.

Lin Wanmeng’s attitude was calm. Facing Lin Bo’s tiger-like eyes, she could actually chuckle.

“Good daughter, you’ve learned a lot of tricks after marrying Ye Lingxiao. I just don’t know if he taught you not to be too ruthless, especially when facing your father.”

Lin Wanmeng was not afraid at all. She replied in a low voice, “When you chased me and my mother out of the house, why didn’t you think that this day would come? Isn’t it a little ridiculous to say such things now?”

When Lin Bo heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and put on a self-satisfied smile. “We agreed back then that we would divorce peacefully. It was written very clearly in black and white. Isn’t it a little too late to think about this now?”

He was even proud of his shrewdness. “Besides, isn’t it normal to get a divorce when the relationship can’t continue? If that’s the reason, you’re too petty.”

How shameless!

Lin Wanmeng pursed her lips and smiled. Her almond-shaped eyes curved into crescents on the horizon, looking cute and amiable. “It’s the same for business. President Lin has only lost a few companies. Why are you in a hurry to threaten people? Aren’t you too petty!”

After hearing what his biological daughter said, Lin Bo was about to explode. If it weren’t for the people beside him, they would probably have started fighting.

Lin Wanmeng’s expression was indifferent, as if she was watching someone who had nothing to do with her play tricks. “Do you still want to discuss business? Could it be that you’re asking us to come over as a formality?”

Secretary Qian hurriedly bowed and said solicitously, “I’ve been too busy with work recently. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of everyone. Of course we have to discuss.”

Lin Bo sat down, but his gaze was still poisonous.
